The practicality of enforcement swayed the commission's decision on this issue.

"I don't think I would have any problem with people wandering in with a beer because it's going to happen anyway," said Commission Chairman Louie McElhaney.

The commission agreed to allow alcohol consumption at the lake except at the beaches, the rights of way and the floating docks. The beach area will have signs posted declaring it to be an alcohol-free area.

Doores came close to getting the right to sell packaged beer at his stand. But he declined the opportunity when presented a choice of that or being able to cater parties that would include drinking at the lake.

Doores indicated that he remained interested in selling packaged alcohol.
